The problem does not lie with the people responsible for promulgating the method and executing it, but with the identity of one of them as the "first batch" of shareholders to receive compensation. Someone pointed out in court that a certain guy is a rich man, and richer than most people here. Why can he be the first to receive compensation, but they, the poorer people, cannot.
In this world, there is no saying that there is no need to worry about being outnumbered, but most people's hearts are like this. They already have thorns in their bodies, but if they find a way to release them, it's okay, but they immediately fall into trouble. From accusing and insulting each other to directly taking action, even the judge got a slap in the face...
This farce-like execution process brought an imperfect end to the DreamWorks fraud case. At least from today on, Dulin's money that has been in the federation can be returned.
After the two laughed for a while, Du Lin's smile gradually faded, and his expression became a little solemn, "Kevin, have you noticed that you have changed?"
Kevin was stunned for a moment, "Sorry, what did you say? Have I changed?"
"Don't you find that you are different from before? I think you are a bit swollen when you were in Tener, when you first arrived in the imperial capital, and now." Dulin decided to tell the truth. Anyway, he and you The friendship between Kevin and Kevin is not mixed with too many other things. To say that they are friends is better to say that they are partners of Chi Guoguo. Dulin provides Kevin with the money he needs for his enjoyment and squandering.
Kevin provided the legal protection Dulin needed, and could also provide him with some connections and lobby some important politicians when necessary.
Therefore, the relationship between the two people is very "clean". There are no countless debts of favor that cannot be repaid, and no one owes anyone. Dulin will pay Kevin's commission to him in a timely manner every time, so he does not Whatever you need to hide, you just need to speak your truest thoughts.
Kevin frowned and thought for a moment. He had indeed expanded a lot during this period. He rarely went around socializing and having fun everywhere. He spent more time studying cases and the personalities and hobbies of those jury members.
In the past, he always felt that there was not enough time, and it would be late at night before he knew it. Now he also feels that there is not enough time, and it is already midnight without doing much.
He really swelled. The moment he walked into the office, no matter whether he was male, female, old or young, no matter what the identity of the person he faced, they would respectfully stop what they were doing, stand up and shout "Good morning, Mr. Kevin". When those billionaires saw him, no matter how many times their worth was, they would come up to him with a smile, hold his hand, and ask him to help them solve some problems.
Even ordinary people know that there is a barrister in Imperial City named Kevin. No matter how troublesome the lawsuit is, as long as he is willing to take it over, he can definitely win it.
He was like a star. Everyone was supporting him and lifting him high, making him forget the feeling of being down to earth.
Until this moment, Du Lin reminded him that after flying so high, it was time to come down and walk on his legs.
It was only at this moment that he realized how much of a jerk he had been during this period.
He rubbed his face and winked, "Sorry, you're right, I got a little carried away."
Dulin walked around in the next few days. After meeting Maggs, he had a clear understanding of the nature of the hearing. This was a process, a process to silence other people. It doesn't matter what the outcome is, what's important is that he got what he wanted most. With this hearing, the status of the city of Otis will become unshakable in the central empire. No matter what happens to the city in the future and who takes over, the city will always be engraved with Dulin's shadow.
The hearing was held on Friday in Courtroom No. 9 of the Empire's Supreme Court. There were a total of eleven people responsible for the ruling. In addition to the seven New Party members, there were actually four real ordinary citizens.
Du Lin, who was sitting on the chair, glanced at the faces of the adjudicators behind the table in the distance. Some of those people frowned, and some looked relaxed. On the contrary, they were four people randomly selected from the residents of the imperial capital. The citizens of the empire looked serious.
One of the main persons responsible for this ruling is said to be the director of the Imperial Taxation Administration. Director is just a title, and his actual political status is the same as that of minister. Let him make the final decision, which is equivalent to telling Dulin that we have already arranged the results for you, you just need to go through the motions.
"Mr. Dulin, in the explanatory document you submitted, I noticed that you mainly mentioned the issue of taxation. Can you talk specifically about the taxation issue in Otis City? Before and after.", from the Imperial Taxation Administration The director's name is Lani. He is a little thin, but he is energetic and his eyes are very sharp.
The imperial tax problem has always been bothering the new party. Within the sphere of influence of the old party, there is no tax collected at all. They always have various reasons to dismember the tax and swallow it themselves, leaving a pile of bones and dregs for the tax. General Administration. Rani also used the method of tax commissioner to inspect tax issues everywhere. As a result, more than 30 people were sent out and only a dozen came back. A dozen more were either missing, had a car accident, or the boat capsized. In short, there were various natural and man-made disasters that prevented them from surviving the moment they returned to the imperial capital.
It is precisely because the taxes within the sphere of influence of the old party cannot be collected safely and healthily, so after taking power, the ruling party began to rely heavily on capitalists and used capitalists' money to develop the empire.
After all, there is still no money to make trouble.
In other words, the empire is causing trouble because it has no money, and the empire cannot represent individuals.
Kevin helped him organize and write the documents in this area, so he had already mastered the core content and questions and answered them casually.
"When I took office as the acting mayor of Otis City, I looked through the total tax revenue of Otis City in the past five years. The cumulative total amount in the five years was less than 4.3 million, of which 70% was in the past three years. There are two main reasons why Otis City, a city located in the heart of the empire, has so little tax revenue.”
"First, there is a lack of commodity circulation in the city. Most residents are self-sufficient, so they do not need to engage in transactions and naturally cannot generate taxes."
"Second, Otis City is relatively backward compared to other places. It has no pillar industries and is mainly small-scale agriculture. Moreover, this part of the output is not sold to the outside world, so naturally it cannot collect taxes."
"But in the month since I took office, 3.71 million yuan in various taxes have been collected, which is only 600,000 yuan less than the total tax revenue in the past five years. This part of the tax revenue comes from special taxes and high Additional tax. With the development and construction of the city, I personally predict that in the next two to three years, the annual tax revenue of Odis City will be conservatively estimated to exceed 60 million, which is approximately equivalent to the city’s total tax revenue in the past forty years!”
The moment Du Lin finished saying this, the adjudicators sitting behind the desk all showed shocked expressions, and even Rani couldn't help but touch his hair.
Sixty million a year's tax revenue... This figure has exceeded the tax revenue of the imperial capital, and this is not Dulin's boast. Because he was already halfway there, and it was still in the early days of the city's development. If a huge source of tax revenue is added to the empire, it will be very beneficial whether the new party is in power in the future or it remains in power.
Lani wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't ask. The question he wanted to ask was not appropriate to ask in such an occasion.
Next came another adjudicator's question. This guy is the director of the Imperial Contraband Investigation Bureau. Although the Contraband Investigation Bureau and the Imperial Taxation Bureau are both "general bureaus", his status as director-general in the party is lower than Rani's. At least two levels higher than the ministerial level, and administratively two levels lower than the ministerial level.
There was a quota for him in this ruling because Dulin's matter involved contraband, so Powers directly pushed out this Maggs general. He did not mean this out of kindness, but wanted to use this opportunity to undermine his prestige and be fully prepared for the next step of letting one of Powers's own people take over as the Directorate of Contraband Investigation.
If the director-general strictly adheres to his position, it will be equivalent to stabbing Mags in the back. This is obviously a bad betrayal. But if he doesn't stick to his position, it means that he is no longer suitable to continue in his current position.
This is a dilemma.
The director of the General Bureau of Contraband Investigation is named Xin Shige. He is thirty-eight or nineteen years old and has very unusual short hair. He looked at Du Lin with complicated eyes and asked: "Mr. Du Lin, do you know about the second alcohol prohibition issued by the empire? And the laws on smuggling and selling contraband?" Dulin nodded, and asked: "Then what do you think about the fact that you escort contraband and act as a protective umbrella for smugglers? What do you have to defend? ?"
Du Lin asked without any pause, "Mr. Xin Shige, Mr. Rani, and all the gentlemen here, have you had any drinks? I believe that all gentlemen are honest people and disdain to lie."
This question was a bit abrupt and caught people off guard. Rani nodded happily. He was very interested in Dulin, or in other words, he was very interested in tax collection. Dulin's achievements are obvious to all. If a few more so-called special zones are created according to what Leader Magers said, does it mean that there will be several or even ten cities with tax revenues of more than 60 million appearing every year
That's five to six billion in taxes a year. With such dazzling political achievements like the sun, no matter how high he flies in the next step, others can't say anything.
With Rani taking the lead and nodding, the four ordinary citizens also nodded happily, and then everyone else nodded too. Finally, everyone's eyes were focused on Mr. Xinshige.
